Weaning

Women have different feelings about breast feeding. It isn't for everyone. I always knew that I wanted to do it, or at least to try, since I had heard it can be incredibly difficult. "Breast is the best" is what they say. Then when I found out I was having twins, I was disapointed at the prospect that it might not work out, but I knew I had to give it a try. It was incredibly difficult in the beginning, but we overcame the obstacles and I have been nursing the twins for eleven months now.

Brandon and I are going on a short trip next week and I have battled with the decision on whether or not to wean the babies all week. We haven't nursed since Friday and I'm in tears just thinking about it. I never thought that I would be so emotional over it, but nursing creates a very special bond and I am missing it terribly.

Ok, enough blubbering. For anyone who is interested in breastfeeding, here is the link to La Leche League for more information.
